Track 2 is actually crazy??? That has so much potential as a re-work. Someone get Kevin on the phone NOW

Lonerism imo is Kevin’s greatest work ever, it’s a hybrid between the old style psych rock of innerspeaker and the more digital synthesised style of currents but blended to a perfect outcome. Very introspective psychedelic work ✌️

Track 9 is insane, I can't get over how good it is.

“Everything Comes, Everything Goes Away” would’ve been a hit in any universe.

Track 2 just whips you away to a psychedelic dream world 🤤

This album matches the vibe of Paris during springtime/summer it's actually fascinating. I can see it through the music, it's full of this vibe

“i wanted to be something that i never could be go on tell me it just might be what i neeed” 💔😢track 10 is my song.

TRACK 6 makes me feel like I'm inside a dream that I never had.

that track at 12:50 is INSANE what the fuck

Are you kidding me… sidelining tracks like these is just mind blowing. God I hope Kev masters these

Like track 10 has me mesmerized since these were released. So beautiful you can just tell this was a song from the heart.

Cannot express how much it means to us that you posted this. I would've never found these. I love Kevin Parker.

Is it crazy to say that the unreleased Lonerism sketches and B-sides might be my favorite Tame era ever? Listening to these, it's so obvious Kevin was already thinking about Currents, but wasn't quite there yet. Retina Show may be my favorite song ever, but damn, tracks 9 & 10 on this sketch album... there's something different about them. I love listening to this whole album of sketches in its entirety while driving. I know people are saying these should have been full-length songs (and they're good enough to be), but I personally love how short they are. You miss them as soon as they're over and have to listen to the whole album again, just to get a taste of everything. It's genius.

The dialog from 3:19 Melody: "Oh is this tonight?" Kevin "Yea just recording it--" M: "Omg whose is this?" K: "idk" M: "have you ever heard of this director? This guy I worked with like the producer of the Beatles, Allen, --- It was around the same time that he was -- like ahead of his time. So into it. Didnt mean to interrupt you" K: "haha its alright" M: "Gumby do you own this? Or do you know anyone who does?" Gumby: "Idk" M: "Man if you ever see the copy of The Holy Mountain floating around I would shits insane" G: "Yeh. Heck Yea. Play it again Kev"

Track 9 has been on loop since forever ✨

These are amazing. Thank you for sharing these man.

Thank you so much for sharing this rarity with us!!!

Oh yeah, that's the stuff! Thanks for sharing!

My God, I'm not ready for this!!

Thank you to the person who posted these- thank you Kevin and everyone involved in TAME. 🖤

As a musician myself this helps me so much to understand my process. Sometimes I feel as though I am not making any progress. Thank you for this, I feel so connected. 😊❤

Good god I don’t know how you found these demos. Absolutely breathtaking. Especially track 9. It’s like finding the secret stash of Kevin Parker gold.

Te agradezco de corazón ❤️ ya es media noche y estoy con mis audífonos escuchando estás maravillas.

This is from a genius at work. So magical and how creative is Kevin Parker !!

El track 2 me voló la cabeza! esa esencia de lonerism es única, gracias kevin por tanto!

Wow, hearing 'Enders Toi' taking shape almost brought a tear to my eye. That song is wonderful.

Sounds soooo good

I was late to the party but Lonerism is probably my favourite album of all time now. Love these demos, great to hear some of the development of this absolute genius.

THANK YOU!!!

Track 9 hits me in the feels, like a swift but gentle uppercut.

Thanks for uploading this. I'm a huge fan of psychedelic Tame Impala, Innerspeaker, Lonerism and the B sides and rarities are musical greatness. Thanks for this!! Hope someday Kevin returns to the fuzzy and trippy rock

TRACK 9 SOUNDS AMAZING MANNN

I never comment on RU-vid but this kind of content helped me realise there are so many people to share these great experiences with, have a great day everyone

What the hell it’s amazing !!!

Track 9 y 10 fácilmente podrían haber sido parte de Lonerism original, a mi parecer logra transmitir esa tristeza y anhelo que se siente en feels like only go backwards y nothing that has happened so far... Gracias por subirlo :3

Track 9 is my favorite, I can’t stop playing it. He needs to release it

Lonerism would have been a very diff album if he included these

The apocalypse demo 😭 love these so much

Transportada a demasiados buenos momentos de la vida épicamente utopica perfecta, llena de libertad

Thank you for uploading this! I need Track 4 to be a full lenght song ASAP it's calling my name

thank you thank you thank you

Holy crap thank you

Track 10 hits right in the feels

very good these demos

Such a master , I love his psychodelic

es tan genial escuchar esto y tan alentador ver como' todo era en un inicio..

This Elephant version is heavy af, beautiful!!

This is why you’re the king of tones lol

listening to Kevin just humming the melody of Endors Toi is such a cool insight

Track 9 clearly explains that Kevin has always had the fascination and talent to create pop music. Love the track, I wish he would recreate it for a new album!!! ❤

I am 15 rn and if I am older and I think back at my childhood I think track 1 is the best background sound😮.

GRACIAS HÉROE SIN CAPA ❤️

How was 12:50 not on the b-sides?! “Play the Fool” is finished Kev, turn it in!

I am glad he decided not to hoard these

Estoy llorando de emoción escuchando esto 😭💜

tysm

Wow! My favourite album of Tame impala. Track 11 has huge potential

Lonerism is the greatest album of all times in the history of music.

Track 9 is hitting🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Track 9 is an absolute madness

increíble

Track 10 is straight up Chillwave

So much hype about track 09 it feels like a currents 10th anniversary than a Lonerism 10th anniversary

From a songwriter's perspective this is a treasure trove. Thanks for uploading.

12:50 that would be something

Track 6 is making me feel like im standing in the rain with everything i ever wanted to achieve becoming real but i had never thought about the consequences and now im aimlessly and hopelessly standing there on the street with the rain pouring not knowing what to do

Retina show 🎉

A little glimpse into kevin’s mind! crazy

Kev....... Wow.. Just wow.

Ese sonido sintetizador 0:02 8:33 13:27 del lonerism como lo amo

A track 9 é surreal!!!

Track 4 actually sounds like an early version of “Taxi’s Here”

Track 4 is insane. Definitely was an interlude of some sort

WOW TRACK#2 AND TRACK #9 ITS A GREAT SURPRISE!!!!

It gives us all hope that our rough ideas can turn into masterpieces.

I need track 6 on vinyl asap, Kevin!

Mi favorit 6 9 10🌟

Tracks 2 6,9,10,11 are SOLID

the track 11 riff reminds me of the riff at the end of music to walk home by

@4:15 sounds like either Beverly laurel or maybe even taxis here

I need track 9 on spotify right now.

Track 6 is beautiful

when jay says play it again kev

These demos sound so much better than the innerspeaker demos, I really don't understand why Kev never mastered them, hopefully one day they'll come out on another anniversary edition, maybe Lonerism 20th?

Esto hermoso 😍

finally i found this

Am I gonna die waiting aroundddd? 🎵🎶

Track 9 is special

I could see Track 9 being on Currents. It has that vibe

These songs smack… BUT I understand why he didn’t put some of them on the record. A lot of these unheard demos feel like Kevin was in the infant stages of conceptualizing ideas for Currents. I’m so lucky that my favorite artist releases his demos like this.

You know someone's got something when they can turn a simple synth arpeggiator into 43 seconds of bliss

Track 9 ❤

esto es hermoso
